i'm sorry your property burned up. That was a beautiful place. Given adequate rain it will recover from the fire. Rain tends to run off untilled ground that is burned over. After a couple rainstorms the burned ground will absorb water.

About half our place in Garvin county, OK burned in November, 2005. The wind was blowing over 60 mph: The 4-8" oak trees looked like they had been hit with a torch-it burned the bark right off. We also lost about 300 mature oak trees. Much of the place is now overgrown with greenbriers, oak brush, wild plum and sumac. It's good deer cover.
